Re: Iup basketball

That got tight there at the end for those only seeing the final score. Boro got it down to 5 points. Smith and Appleby hit two major treys. Big time shots.

Maura D'Anna exploded for 17 points off the bench on 8-9 shooting.

You're right ... very good performance.

Nice unselfish basketball.

Re: Iup basketball

The ladies are up 37-28 at the half over Boro. They had lead up to 17 but Edinboro had a nice run to close half.

It will be a tight one.

Re: Iup basketball

The Heritage Conference Championship is tonight at the KCAC. The boys' game is Saltsburg vs. Ligonier Valley.

Just a (strong) guess, but Bravado Joe may have an interest (or two) in this game.

I'd also be willing to bet this game has a bigger gate than any IUP game so far this season (2,350).

Re: Iup basketball

Edinboro played a fantastic game in Indiana last month. A lot of close games are just when IUP is off but that was genuinely a tight, very good game. But, I'd agree. If Anderson isn't back it could be a run-away tomorrow. I have no idea on his status but noticed he hasn't played the past several games. He's a nice player. That's a big-time loss for them. Without him taking some pressure of Mason they get a lot easier to defend. It's a shame. They had a nice roster at the beginning of the year ... just got blasted with the injury bug. Mason's a pretty special player. They have decent bigs, too. But, with that small of a rotation any foul trouble spells doom.

Re: Iup basketball

All IUP focus on Edinboro ... only game that matters right now.


LOL ... let's not jinx anything (and remember the end of last season).

We just saw two MEC power teams lose to teams well below .500 last night.

After seeing edinboro lose to seton hill I give iup a zero percent chance of losing. Mason would have to score 75. To many injuries. Tough year for edinboro men.

Does anybody want to give a shot at what they think the Region rankings look like right now? Lots happened in the last week.

Re: Iup basketball

The game tonight at UPJ does have a video feed. The IUP site isn't showing it yet but you could get to it from UPJ's site.

The first meeting was a thriller. UPJ is a tough matchup for IUP. They run some things at Joe that others in the West do not. AJ Leahy made some (beyond) NBA range treys in the last meeting to really keep them in it. PG Dale Clancy also hit some real daggers.

For as close as the schools are (40 minutes) you'd think this would have more of a rivalry feel to it but it really doesn't.

The way Joe's team can have a tendency to give up the three ball is an alarm in this game although defensively this team is miles ahead of where it was in early January.

I'd actually expect kind of a pro-IUP crowd up there tonight. UPJ draws awful and IUP will travel decent for this one.

UPJ is 14-6. Two of its losses came to Gannon in very dramatic fashion.

When you look at the remaining schedule, this is the last true roadblock. Win tonight and I think Joe runs the West table undefeated.

But, one step at a time. This is a big one tonight.

I think the fact that UPJ is a relatively new member of the PSAC after years as an independent and as a member of the old WVIAC has a lot to do with that.

Re: Iup basketball

43-28 IUP at half.

As I always, always say ... being a D2 fan is so difficult. My video is down still.

[IUP24]

Nobody say anything about Gannon's stream ever again. Yikes. Has it come back on for anybody yet?
